Hallmark STUDY ISB BSN 206
T/F: Ventilation is the exchange of oxygen for carbon dioxide at the cellular
level. - correct answer ✔False
Diffusion is the exchange of oxygen for carbon dioxide at the cellular level


Ventilation is the process of moving respiratory gases into and out of the lungs


T/F: A severely anemic patient may experience tachypnea during routine daily
activities. - correct answer ✔True.
Reduced hemoglobin levels result in reduced oxygen-carrying capacity that
leads to decreased oxygen saturation. The body compensates by increasing
the respiratory rate


What are signs & symptoms of hypoxia (low cellular and tissue oxygen) -
correct answer ✔restlessness (early sign of hypoxia)
irritability
anxiety
confusion/disorientation
Decreased ability to concentrate
Aletered level of consciousness
Syncope
Altered behavior
increased pulse rate (tachycardia)
increased respiratory rate (tachypnea)
Elevated BP
Cardiac dysrhythmias (irregular/and or premature rhythms)
Pallor

,Complaints of dyspnea (breathlessness)
Cyanosis (usually a late sign of hypoxia)


What causes hypoxia? - correct answer ✔Inadequate tissue oxygen w/
adequate blood supply


Develops from a deficiency in oxygen delivery or oxygen utilization at the
cellular level


T/F: A patient with a "normal" respiratory rate cannot become hypoxic - correct
answer ✔False.
An individula can have a normal ventilation rate and be unable to absorb
enough oxygen to sustain normal tissue and organ function


T/F: The appearance of cyanosis around the lips and fingertips of the patient
may be the result of chronic respiratory impairment. - correct answer ✔True.
Cyanosis, a bluish discoloration of the skin or mucous membranes, is caused
by inadequate oxygenation of the bloodstream. Patients with chronic lung
diseases (COPD) may exhibit cyanosis.


T/F: An elevated pulse rate is the body's attempt to increase oxygen delivery
to the tissues. - correct answer ✔True.
An increase in pulse rate is an adaptive response to meet the body's oxygen
demand. The increased pulse rate may occur in conjunction with an increased
respiratory rate that attempts to increase oxygen supply.


What are the 3 cough types? - correct answer ✔Huff; Cascade; Quad

,Which type of cough stimulates the natural cough reflex and is helpful in
clearing the large central airways such as the tracheobronchial tree.? - correct
answer ✔Huff cough


T/F: A patient with an acute onset of pneumonia is coughing copious amounts
of secretions. The best coughing technique to teach a patient is the huff cough
- correct answer ✔False


The best coughing technique for large volumes of sputum is the cascade
cough.


T/F: Coughing maintains patency of the airway by removing secretions and/or
foreign body materials. - correct answer ✔True.


Coughing is a protective mechanism that assists in maintaining airway
patency.


Assisting a patient, a paraplegic patient w/ bronchitis, by supporting his
abdominal muscles during forced expiration and coughing is an example of
huff coughing. - correct answer ✔False.


this is an example of quad coughing.
The quad cough is used w/ patients who lack control of their abdominal
muscles (patients w/ spinal cord injuries and patienst w/ recent abdominal
surgery)


T/F: Patients at risk for airway obstruction should be encountered to breathe
deeply and cough at least once every 4 hours. - correct answer ✔False.

, Patients at risk for airway obstruction should be encouraged to cough at least
every hour.


T/F: Huff coughing is usually effective only for clearing the central airways. -
correct answer ✔True.


It mimic the natural cough reflex


T/F: Cascade coughing requires that the patient take a deep breath and hold it
for 2 seconds before performing a series of forceful coughs. - correct answer
✔True.


Cascade couging is more effective at removing sputum than huff coughing


T/F: Excessive airway secretions can cause airway occlusion. - correct
answer ✔True


The most common cause of airway obstruction in the adult is excessive
secretions.


T/F: A key assessment technique to determine whether a patient's airways are
occluded is auscultation of the lungs. - correct answer ✔True.


Auscultation determines whether secretions are present in the airways


A patient is able to cough and expectorate but complains of mucus in the back
of the throat. You should:
a. Perform orotracheal suctioning
b. Perform oropharyngeal suctioning
